Breaking the Silence: Community Action Against Gender-Based Violence

#IamSahraBulle Campaign 2025

In this powerful opening episode of Break the Silence, Build a Future, Fartumo Kusow — author, storyteller, and founder of the Sahra Bulle Foundation — emphasizes the urgent need for action against gender-based violence (GBV) and the dangers of silence.

Through her personal story, Fartumo illustrates how silence costs lives and why advocacy, empowerment, and women’s rights must remain central to our communities. She connects today’s work to the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (Beijing+30), reminding us that collective responsibility and community action are essential to lasting social change.

This episode also introduces the Purple Ribbon Campaign, a community-driven initiative that raises awareness, honors lives lost, and amplifies survivor voices. By uniting individuals and organizations, it fosters justice and demonstrates how collective action can transform grief into meaningful change.

Because if not now, then when?
If not you, then who?
